Zheng Hongmei tried her best to squeeze out a smile as she entered her office, closed the door, and plopped down on her chair.
The office lights weren't on, making the room quite dim as Zheng Hongmei sat on her office chair, feeling suddenly very tired.
Reflecting on the events she had experienced over the years, it truly seemed like she had been living in a dream.
There was a knock at the door; Zheng Hongmei didn't respond, not wanting to see anyone right now.
The knocking persisted, accompanied by a man's voice: "Mei, I know you're in there. Please open the door."
Zheng Hongmei did not get up and simply said, "Go away. I want to be alone for a while."
The person outside hesitated for a moment before footsteps indicated they were leaving.
Zheng Hongmei reclined fully in her office chair, her eyes closing slightly.
Over the years, she had suffered a lot, but managed to rise from being a hostess to her current position, showing she's quite capable.
